question 25

Essay

Refer to the tables.
Using the data in Tables 1-3, construct a food web for your study area (this will be referred to as Figure 1). Separate trophic levels with horizontal lines and number each trophic level. Indicate the classification for the species in each trophic level (i.e., secondary consumers, etc.). Indicate each species on its appropriate trophic level. Finally, sketch arrows between the species names to indicate which species consume which other species. Arrows should start at the species that was consumed and point to the species that are consumers.
